Convoy AP-3

Convoy AP-3 was a British convoy headed from Alexandria (el-Iskandariya) in Egypt to Plymouth in England. The convoy was ambushed by a wolf pack of Kriegsmarine U-boats in the English Channel on 5 February 1943 as it neared its destination, and the U-boats sunk a transport and an escort ship in yet another attack on merchant shipping during the Battle of the Atlantic.
